MINUTES
Rick Smith made the motion, seconded by Jon Halluex, that the October 2012 meeting minutes be accepted as printed. The motion carried.

GUEST SPEAKER: Aaron with A Line In The Sand is here to discuss 10C Travel Plan for Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Encompassing riding areas in Florence, Winchester Bay and North of Coos Bay. The forest service proposal is to close 62% of the current trails in these three riding areas. He would like you to submit public comments to include your name, address and phone number, then the document title/subject line; Oregon Dunes NRA Management Area 10C Designated Routes Project. Specifically how much you spend at the dunes, what specific trails you ride at the dunes and how long have you been using the trails. Also, let them know how the trails will be missed if closed. Please state that you do not agree with any of the alternates in the “BEIS plan” and the forest service needs to scratch their current plans and come up with new and better alternatives. State any related clubs, organizations or groups that you belong too. Please be respectful and polite in the letters. We are making good headway and currently Coos and Douglas County are backing our position that the forest service needs to re-evaluate their plan. We are just waiting for a response from Lane County. Public comments are due by December 9, 2012 and can be sent online to comments-pacificnorthwest-siuslaw-ce...oast@fs.fed.us
